With the world supposedly ending this Friday, people around the world are rushing to accomplish that number one thing on their bucket list. I have always wanted to travel and I definitely have a serious case of wanderlust. If I had the time to explore the entire world between today and December 21st, I would. […]

National Geographic has a series of photo galleries entitled Simply Beautiful Photos. Each photo gallery has a theme to it, such as light, moment, palette, or composition.

I couldn’t have thought of a better way to spend my last trip to NYC with the SSCS Honor Society. The weather was wonderful, everyone had a great time, I got to spend the day with Matt in the city, and the show (if you read my last blog) was AWESOME. Our seats were just […]

I love learning other languages; there is something so exciting about being able to talk to someone from a different country with a completely different culture.
